North Korea Introduces 'Secure' E-mail

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-this-is-just-strange dept.

An anonymous reader sent in a strange little story running over at ZD that discusses North Korea's new secure email system. There's a lot of strange bits in there about trained North Korean hackers, and the fact that North Korea's news agency is hosted in Japan.

    Well, North Korea is not democratic at ALL, so South Korea (where you have elections, protests, etc) is the more democratic.

    As far as being paranoid, I think the South is quite paranoid and with good reason. North Korean spies reguarly travel into the south, through a large network of tunnels under the DMZ. NK agents have kidnapped Japanese and South Koreans dozens of times in the past 40 years. South Korea is often infiltrated by North Korean spies who get into the country via small submarines.

    From what I understand, cold war Berlin was nothing compared to what's been going on in Korea since the 60s.
